It's wonderful that you care for these folks. Care that they're remembered

The cemetery was founded in Rutherford and the battles are buried there. Solomon Battle was a  fireman from east Chicago Indiana. Son of Ben and Lucy Battle, husband of Rosebud Dawson. So was it the Battle's that bought the land

Sad to think that these people in this resting community are lost to time. They lived, had families and homes and now are lost... Thank you both for bringing a few back into rememberance by speaking their names.

I love, love, love this! Believe me, they are not forgotten. We Battle descendants are here in East Texas, Alabama,Georgia,Oklahoma, etc. Thank you for acknowledging my family name. I've watched so many of your videos hoping to see any ancestors and this made my day. Thanks

Thank you for all that you do. It pains me to see these old ancestral cemetaries unkept, neglected and forgotten. Nearby community should take an interest in the cemetary.

It’s sad how that area hasn’t been cleaned up. All those people deserve respect that should all be cleaned up and taken care of.

Thank you for documenting,  recording it and making sure this community is not lost to history. I hope to see that it can be taken care of.

Thank you for kindness in showing so much respect for all that are resting here ❤

This was just shared with me by my nephew. I'm a descendant, me and my family members are fully aware of the Cemetery. As the sign by the highway stated, "it is a Historical site". Every so many years to clean it up as best we can. I am planing for next spring and fall.

So often stated by so many of your viewers, you are doing a public service to and for the people and history of Georga. It's a found cemetery now.

Findagrave has about 18 graves recorded with all but one photographed. It's listed as Battle Cemetery Rutherford, Russell County, Alabama, USA. Two nearby churches have graves of the same families in Rutherford. They are Shady Grove Baptist and Mount Missouri Baptist churches.

Daniel is wearing the official "other Robert" t-shirt.👍

Wow...I believe they knew you were there. The respect you showed and voiced for all of them, not just the ones you could identify,  is tangible. I hope Daniel is able to find out more about the community.

Five generations back on my grandmother's side, the Dillard's lived in that area and had several slaves that they freed after the emancipation proclamation.  Most slaves only had first names and were given the last name of their former owner.

Thanks for the video.  It was very interesting and I felt transported in time. After watching some of your videos I decided to try and find my grandfather's grave,  Wasn't easy but I found it and after walking the entire cemetery, I gave up.  On leaving, I said if you are here show yourself - 2 feet away, I stepped on his grave.  It was a different kind of experience and I'm glad I made the effort.  Thank you for that.  Stay safe.

Does seem so strange how such a large cemetery can just disappear back into the forest. As you say it really wasn't that long ago, hope someone is able to shed some more light on it.

It’s really true, eventually all we are is dust in the wind. It’s very cool how you are honoring these people from the past.

Amazing very respectful & honorable historical adventure Daniel & Sir Robert.  Thanks for taking the time to honor all who rest there.

The lost cemeteries you cover always leave me in awe.  A wonderful tribute to lives lived and gone  to all...
